Canadian Takes on Green Chili Cook-Off

Canadian-born newcomer to Texas, Michael Tobis, was one of five finalists in Central Market's Hatch Green Chili Cooking Contest.

Although he never knew a green chili as a child, and he only tasted his first taco in his late 20s, he was inspired to create his "Free Totta" (or "Texas Frittata") within a couple of months of moving to Texas earlier this year. Competing with professional chefs and caterers, he did did not actually win the contest, but he held his own and was afterwards complimented by several of the celebrity judges.

The tasty recipe will be included in a new cookbook to be published later this month.
